MILE SQUARE REGIONAL PARK PHASE IV PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR NATURALISTIC THEME Parks Robert E. Gresham, Council Following consideration and discussion of the report dated October 9, 1978, prepared by Direc- tor of Recreation and directed Staff to advise the County of Orange that Santa Ana encourages complementary development of Mile Square Regional Park, Phase IV, and re- quests that the County work with Fountain Valley and address their concerns to achieve a more passive, naturalistic theme, on the unanimously carried 6:0 motion of Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman Yamamoto. During Council discussion preceding the vote on the motion, Councilman Ward expressed the opinion that development of Mile Square Park should be more suburban and naturalistic. Councilman Yamamoto stated that the area residents he has talked to want a wooded, naturalistic park. In response to a question from Mayor Evans, Director of Public Works John Stevens stated that Transportation and Traffic Engineer Joe Foust has estimated that the park would generate no more than a SOO-vehicle-per-day traffic increase, easily accom- modated by the arterial streets surrounding the park.
